East Horrington Homepage

Dist:0.3km<br/>From Wells Golf Club looking towards the expanding village of South Horringon. Originally South Horrington consisted of a few houses (seen on the right of the photo)along the road and Mendip Hospital(an asylum). The hospital was redeveloped into housing some years ago, and the area is now a thriving little community. The crane shows where new housing (apparently sheltered accommodation) is now being erected.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Some of the new housing close to the road east of Wells. The road to the left is called Gilbert Scott Road, acknowledging the famous Victorian architect who jointly designed the former Mendip Hospital to which the road leads.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This beautiful building on the outskirts of Wells catered for people suffering from mental illnesses. It closed in the 1980s and subsequently has been turned into apartments, increasing the population of South Horrington dramatically.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Taken from beside the 'old Wells - Bath' road, looking down a valley in the direction of South Horrington and ultimately Wells. The rain was heavy - big fat drops.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Heading West of North to West Horrington. (South Horrington is due west of here but don't moan at me, I didn't name them.)
A bunch of pink hydrangeas hang over the wall to compensate for the directionally challenged villages.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The 15th green at Wells Golf Course lies just in front of the clubhouse. A nice way to spend a beautiful sunny day.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A view facing south from in front of the club house towards King's Castle wood. The 18th green is directly in front. Golf courses may be beautiful, but they are incredibly damaging to the environment, leaving a big ecological footprint.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A mile in this direction brings you to the edge of Wells.
The thing with a hat on the wall is a parish notice board.
The mirror on top of the wall is there for the benefit of traffic emerging from Veal Lane opposite.
